Terrain Assessments

Terrain Hazards Assessment Overview

This stage in the assessment is conducted by a geologist. The geologist examines the proposed harvesting area, and the proposed roads which will be constructed.

When examining the harvesting area and road construction the geologist makes the following considerations:

  • The soil types present
  • The soil drainage
  • The terrain stability
  • The historic terrain stability of the area
  • The down-slope resources (i.e. fish habitat)
  • The anticipated usage
